In circle sentencing, the entire community has the opportunity to explain the possible impacts of the crime economically, physically and emotionally.

The term "circle sentencing" stems from a circle of representatives sitting together and trying to decide a sentence which doesn't include a jail term. Circle Sentencing is one of the alternative sentencing courts for grown-up Aboriginal Offenders. The Circle involves the local Aboriginal individuals during the process of sentencing the offenders. The representatives are mainly Aboriginal Elders and members of the prosecution or police and magistrate. The circle talks about the background and effects of the offense and may involve meeting the victim. The sentence may include community work.

Answer:

The correct answer is that in circle sentencing, better known as sentencing circles, the entire community, including the victim and offender, have the chance of participating, and collaborating, in the entire healing and sentencing process.

Explanation:

Sentencing circles was a system that was first used and applied in Manitoba and the Yukon, but later were applied in the United States, particularly in Minnesota, in 1996. This system of sentencing has not yet been widely used or studied, as people still prefer the normal judicial system, but in the instances in which it has been used, and studied, it has been seen that it does have some really positive effects, as it involves all parties that become involved in the committment of a crime: the victim, the ofender, their supporters, the justice and defense systems, and the entire community, not just in the sentence process, but also in the healing process for the directly involved: the victim and the ofender.
